Polar Bear Sketchbooks

Very excited and highly thrilled to share a successful branding project for the amazing @Polar_Bear_Sketchbook! Their high-quality professional artist sketchbooks are a game-changer. I'm very happy and proud that they chose a pair of personal characters I drew at a workshop I ran back in 2019. Since that day, "Billy" and his rat, and "Booby" the polar bear, have been representing this lovely brand. It was thrilling when I saw my characters looking so alive and in motion. The day I woke up to the animated version of my work on their Instagram new post, just a little while after I sent them the finished work, they surprised me with their cute finished animation! It felt amazing! Whether you're a fine artist or working in the industry, check out their Instagram and place your order. They ship worldwide! 🌟 https://www.instagram.com/polar_bear_sketchbook/
